    He does lush, spacious things with piano, organ, solo cello, string quartet, string orchestra, voices and crackling electronics, and the arrangements are sensitively done, though I can’t say I found much compelling drama in it.

    On Orphée, Jóhannsson expresses the need to let some things and people go to let new ones in with remarkable nuance, as well as the affecting beauty fans have come to know and love.

    Intriguing melodies, immersive arrangements and a haunting choral climax. [Nov 2016, p.96]
